Nine user agents, built from five rendering implementations, were tested across five operating systems.

Tests

The 6 July 2023 revision of the CSS Multicol 1 test suite was used. The test suite consists of 133 tests.

These tests are available in several host language variants:

• HTML 4
• XHTML 1.1
• XHMLT 1.1 for Printers

Some tests only apply to certain language variants; the results for each tested implementation are reported for each tested language variant. Also, not all tests are applicable to each implementation; for example, a browser which implements HTML but not XHTML is not tested for XHTML.

Results

In summary, the results show that all 133 tests were passed by at least two of the tested implementations.

Results were gathered from implementation reports submitted by user agent vendors as well as the general public via the W3C Conformance Test Harness.
